The Laboratory-based Enteric Disease Surveillance (LEDS) system contributes to the understanding of human shigellosis in the United States by collecting reports of infections1 from state and regional public health laboratories. Reporting to LEDS is voluntary; the number of laboratories submitting reports varies somewhat from year to year, although almost all public health laboratories report every year. Occasionally, multiple isolates are reported from a single episode of infection in a person; this report includes only one isolate of a given Shigella species per person within a 30-day period.
